Crabcakes Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 704 or 706? Did you drill it yourself? Nice work. Actually looking at the handle that one is even nicer than I realized. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 13, 2011 Super User Posted March 13, 2011 I've got myself down to 4 combos this year: Ardent F500 on a 7'6" Fenwick HMG/AV spooled with 55lb Samuari braid for flippin'/pitchin' Revo Toro 50HS on a 7' Mojo Bass MH/F spooled with 15lb Trilene Big Game for cranks and spinners Revo STX on a 7' Fenwick Triggerstick M/MF spooled with 10lb Seaguar Abrazx for finesse Revo STX on a 7' Fenwick Triggerstick MH/F Spooled with 55lb Samuari braid for frogs I am going to attempt to retire ;D the spinning gear this year, and only use the C3's for swimbaits and salmon. I'll see how all that works out. Quote
CWilliams Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I love the look of the cork on those fenwick rods. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 14, 2011 Super User Posted March 14, 2011 It's not cork. It's called TAC, whatever TAC is??? Quote
CWilliams Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I like the looks of whatever that is then. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 14, 2011 Super User Posted March 14, 2011 I like the looks of whatever that is then. TAC="That ain't cork" Quote
CWilliams Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Have you used a rod with that handle before? How does it compare to cork? Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 14, 2011 Super User Posted March 14, 2011 No. I just picked up those rods 2 weeks ago, and won't be out on the water for another week or two, as we still have some ice. I assumed it was some blend of cork. It has the same consistancy as cork, but almost like there's rubber blended into it. It doesn't soften it, but gives it a slightly tacky feeling. The mfg label says TAC Handle: Provides increased grip in all fishing conditions, more durable than cork and more grip in all conditions. Time will tell. Quote
CWilliams Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Please keep us updated. Im curious how it holds up over time and your opinion compared to other types of materials. Quote
CWilliams Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Just purchased the two Cumulus rods I did not have. Now what will I spend my money on? :-/ Quote

CWilliams Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Nothing wrong with a little tackle porn Then why do I hide it from loved ones? Quote
Mattyvac Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Then why do I hide it from loved ones? There comes a time in a man's life where he loves fishing so much, that looking at another man's rods is the only way to get through the week; until he can once again be fishing with his own. 1 Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted April 11, 2011 Super User Posted April 11, 2011 Here's some of my hardbaits. I love these Special Mate boxes... WOW - I had never seen those Special Mate boxes before - VERY cool. Having said that, they are obviously an evil device invented by the bait monkey... Quote
Super User Micro Posted April 11, 2011 Super User Posted April 11, 2011 They are neat. BTW, Tackle Warerhouse doesn't carry them. I just put that decal on one. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted April 12, 2011 Super User Posted April 12, 2011 Here's some of my hardbaits. I love these Special Mate boxes... Rowland, what's the matter with you, man? I see room for at least 7 or 8 more baits in those boxes. :D :D Quote
